But the university allows for those all encompassing groups to give initial approval.
Not in Delta. A group of young ladies call our NHQ and express an interest in chartering a chapter. They are sent application materials. Included in these materials is a approval form that the school must sign. If the school does not approve the request, the process is done and the group is not allowed to exist even remotely in the name of Delta.

If the request is approved by the school (and of course Delta) then the group is formalized and the process begins and it's usually no longer than two to three months.

You're right it is one of those differences between our two organizations in that we do not have colonies.
